At least to me it's not quite clear what it does. Okay, the examples in the emacs-mime info file are fairly clear. But what they leave open to interpretation: suppose I compose a message, and the very first line of the body is a multipart tag, followed by a couple of part tags. What does the whole message look like that comes out? You see, if I just put several part tags in the body, then I get a multipart/mixed message, so maybe the same thing happens with a multipart tag. I kinda suspect that under some circumstances the top-level MML tag will become the Content-Type of the whole message, whereas under some circumstances the Content-Type of the whole message will me multipart/mixed with the MML tags given as `children' of that. kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
